Way.....too much money to pay someone else, for a coupla hours work and some scrap aluminum. I tucked mine up as tight to the undertail as it would go, turn indicators just a little narrower than stock, a nice angle, so you don't have to be in an air plane to see it. Mike |

+1 on the Jardine. Will post a pic tomorrow. Looks great, mounts the turns in stock location, and routes the cables in a manner similar to the stock piece. Only downside is: it doesn't include a license plate light. Two possible solutions (in addition to "don't have a light"): dremel out a small area under the taillight, or (as I plan to do) buy a couple of lighted bolts for the plate. |

I've had a few folks order a tail light from me to use with there Jardine pieces. As long as there is a small cut out, it works just fine. The evotech tail and the prec. eng. Tail both have there own license plate lights. I personally really like the looks of the evotech tail tidy ( one Trojan has ) -Robert www.xblights.com |

+1 Jardine(fits good and the one bolt has never loosened with my hard canyon riding) and im fine without a light bulb and I know police in so cal area..you can see the plate fine with the little red/white lens. Hey I got the first prototype and I cant beat the price, LOL and its American! Thanks to all who have bought Jardine...they have done me great and making improvements with Buell exhausts/acc. Next they will be improving the Buell exhaust that I have, RT5 in CF. Any suggestions and I will let them know on the exhausts and fender eliminator,etc. Rob Kreiner Buell Specialist 951 785-0100 |

I sell Jardine since our dealership does work with them..me personally..I get great pricing...If your in my store buell bike nite and day every month..up to 20%off and special order and exhausts,etc. The dealer price is 68.00 but is 65.00 online w/Jardine. I take off discount on the online Jardine price. I can sell Jardine for 10% off to bad web members + shipping..i'm not a parts guy..a Buell Specialist. I get the deals from Jardine like the new pro-tune 3 for 149.00 with pipe purchase... Let me know and please email me as i am the only buell guy in this large inland empire HD dealership...(one of 3 in the US)Buell store's here and cant keep up with all the calls i get nationally and overseas already. I primarily sell the bikes...demo and do promotions/marketing..to make Buell a special purchase and keep my personal customers happy and I own a moded 09 1125CR thanks to Jardine/Mark Dobeck(performance)K&N,etc...getting the new K&N filter soon and other parts....

I did mine by just sketching a pattern and building out of a piece of stainless sheet. Came out good, IMO. http://www.badweatherbikers.com/buell/messages/290 431/427556.html I can't see spending $100 or more when one can be had for a couple bucks and the satisfaction of doing it yourself! |

I bought the tidy tail. Very easy to install and looks great. Took approx. 45 mins for me cause I removed the rear bodywork as per the instructions. After installing the kit I found I could've left the bodywork on. No probs, all went well. |
